"Railroad car A railroad car or railcar (American and Canadian English), railway wagon or railway carriage (British English and UIC), also called a train car or train wagon, is a vehicle used for the carrying of cargo or passengers on a rail transport system (a railroad/railway). Such cars, when coupled together and hauled by one or more locomotives, form a train. Alternatively, some passenger cars are self-propelled in which case they may be either single railcars or make up multiple units. The term ""car"" is commonly used by itself in American English when a rail context is implicit. Indian English"

What would be called a minivan in American English is called a ""people-carrier"" or ""MPV"", or multi-purpose vehicle, and larger passenger vehicles are called a minibus. The ""Telegraph"" newspaper introduced the idea of ""White Van Man"", a typical working class man or small business owner who would"
"Brake van Brake van and guard's van are terms used mainly in the UK, Australia and India for a railway vehicle equipped with a hand brake which can be applied by the guard. The equivalent North American term is caboose, but a British brake van and a caboose are very different in appearance, because the former usually has only four wheels, while the latter usually has bogies. Many British freight trains formerly had no continuous brake so the only available brakes were those on the locomotive and the brake van. Because of this shortage of brake power, the speed was"

They were short, often less than 10 ft (3 m) long and had two axles. British railways had a head start on American railroads, with the first ""bed-carriage"" (an early sleeping car) being built there as early as 1838 for use on the London and Birmingham Railway and the Grand Junction Railway. Britain's early sleepers, when made up for sleeping, extended the foot of the bed into a boot section at the end of the carriage. The cars"

Panel vans are smaller than panel trucks and cargo vans, both of which are built on a truck chassis. The evolution of the panel van design is largely dependant on the passenger car upon which it is based, which historically has varied between regions. In North America, the panel van was initially based upon the two-door"

The word ""tram"", for instance, is generally used in the UK and many former British colonies to refer to what is known in North America as a streetcar, but in North America ""tram"" can instead refer to an aerial tramway, or, in the case of the Disney amusement parks, even a land train.

Possessing a chimney, it is commonly thought of as being highly decorated, intricately carved, brightly painted, and even gilded. The British Romani tradition of the vardo is seen as a high cultural point of both artistic design and a masterpiece of woodcrafters art. The heyday of the living wagon lasted for roughly 70 years, from the mid-1800s through the first two decades of the twentieth century. Not used for year-around living today, they are shown"

They are particularly associated with the narrow gauge Festiniog Railway (FR) in Wales where they were used between 1836 and 1863. The challenge on the FR was to move slate from an elevated location to a harbour for shipping, in this case from Blaenau Ffestiniog to Porthmadog, Wales."
"bogie is the British word for truck in the railroad sense). Similar locomotives developed in England were known as Single Fairlies. Mason's idea was to remove what American railroad men saw as the biggest disadvantages of the Fairlie - its cramped space for fuel and water caused by its double ended design (not very useful on American railroads where there was always ample room for a turntable or wye), its cramped cab caused by the joined double boilers, and to some degree its poor riding. He did this by removing one boiler of the double Fairlie and retaining only one"

"or station wagon originated from the early practice of manufacturing the passenger compartment portion of a vehicle in hardwood. Woodies were popular in the United States and were produced as variants of sedans and convertibles as well as station wagons, from basic to luxury. They were typically manufactured as third-party conversions of regular vehicles—some by large, reputable coachbuilding firms and others by local carpenters and craftsmen for individual customers. They could be austere vehicles, with side curtains in lieu of roll-up windows (e.g., the 1932 Ford)—and sold in limited numbers (e.g., Ford sold 1654 woodie wagons). Eventually, bodies constructed entirely"

"British railway brake van British Railways inherited a variety of brake vans from each of the Big Four: GWR, LNER, Southern Railway and LMS due to the nationalisation of the railways in 1949. A brake van is a wagon at the rear of a goods train where a guard would sit with a handbrake. The job was to provide extra braking force for a train and as an emergency hand brake. All brake vans served the same purpose: to add extra brake-force to a train. Brakemen, who operated the brake vans were in charge, and still are today, of making"

In Australia, panel vans were a development of the ute (a small pickup truck based on a passenger car chassis, e.g. Chevrolet El Camino), often using the longer wheelbase of the station wagon chassis. It is not known when the first panel van entered production, however it became an established type of vehicle by the end of the 1920s. The panel van body style has experienced separate evolutions in America,"
"Prisoner transport vehicle A prisoner transport vehicle, informally known as a 'meat wagon' amongst British prisoners, is a specially designed or retrofitted vehicle, usually a van or bus, used to transport prisoners from one secure area, such as a prison or courthouse, to another. Less commonly, aircraft, or vessels are also similarly fitted. These vehicles must be highly protected and may feature bars or wire mesh over the windows, bulletproof glass, segregated prisoner compartments, and additional seating for escorting officers. Due to their relatively low security and potential isolation from assistance while en route, police or additional corrections vehicles sometimes"
"Wagon A wagon (also alternatively and archaically spelt ""waggon"" in British and Commonwealth English) is a heavy four-wheeled vehicle pulled by draught animals or on occasion by humans (see below), used for transporting goods, commodities, agricultural materials, supplies and sometimes people. Wagons are immediately distinguished from carts (which have two wheels) and from lighter four-wheeled vehicles primarily for carrying people, such as carriages. Wagons are usually pulled by animals such as horses, mules or oxen. They may be pulled by one animal or by several, often in pairs or teams. However, there are examples of human-propelled wagons, such as mining"

Most of these companies produced both passenger and freight equipment for the railroads.

Like stagecoaches they made long scheduled trips using stage stations or posts where the horses would be replaced by fresh horses.
